Turnkey takes on a whole new meaning with this meticulously maintained and extensively renovated 3 bedroom, 2-bath home tucked along a dead-end private drive in Bucksport. Since its purchase in 2022, the property has been thoughtfully transformed with improvements throughout, creating a home where the work has truly been done for you. New porches, a completely repainted interior, and seamless hardwood flooring flowing through the living spaces are just the beginning. The bathrooms are showstoppers. Both have been completely renovated and reconfigured with beautiful finishes, including a newly tiled shower and an oversized soaking tub that brings a touch of luxury to everyday living. The flexible floor plan is another standout. A spacious bedroom on the first floor, along with laundry hookups that remain on the main level, offers the potential for first-floor living. The current owners relocated the washer and dryer downstairs, but the original upstairs hookups remain in place. With two full levels of living space, there is plenty of room to spread out and configure the home to fit your needs. Downstairs, a complete basement system has been installed, creating clean, usable additional space with flexibility for recreation, a home office, workout or hobby space, storage, or whatever works best for you. A one-car garage adds even more everyday convenience. And then there's the location. Set along a dead-end drive, the property connects to the Miles Lane trail system and abuts the Bucksport school campus and athletic fields, putting miles of trails and outdoor recreation right nearby. The town pool is just down the road, while downtown Bucksport, the waterfront, shops, restaurants, and other local amenities are only minutes away. Beautifully renovated, meticulously cared for, and offering a flexible layout with the potential for first-floor living--all in a location that connects you to so much of Bucksport. This is turnkey living taken to a whole new level.
This 3 bed, 2 bath Cape is within walking distance to town schools, pool, and walking trails. This home built in 2002 has an open concept on the first level with a dining room, living room, and kitchen. It also has a detached 1 bay garage and a wheelchair accessible ramp. Have a job outside of town? Commute times are reasonable to Bangor (35 Min), Ellsworth (25 Min), Belfast (30 Min). Or Work from home? High speed internet available.
